As always, the award-winning, weekly Our Hen House podcast is hosted by us — <a href="http://www.jasminsinger.com" target="_blank">Jasmin Singer</a> and Mariann Sullivan. <br> Grab a cup of coffee and join us for our recent stay in Paris, where Mariann was speaking at the <a href="http://www.fondation-droit-animal.org" target="_blank">La Fondation Droit Animal Ethique et Sciences (LFDA) conference</a>! We’ll give your the skinny on this conference, and on Mariann’s talk about farmed animal law.<br> Pour yourself a second cup of coffee and prepare yourself to follow us around as we recorded in a cafe (or two), a vegan grocery story, and a vegan restaurant! We had a room with a view of the Eiffel Tower, too!<br> Not only do we squawk about Mariann’s presentation at the conference and countering the depressing topics with great food, but we tell tales about airplane food, the chocolate cake that wasn’t, a bizarre lesbian bar, and the real word for vegan in French. We interview Jean-Luc Zieger at <a href="http://www.unmondevegan.com/index.cfm" target="_blank">Un Monde Vegan</a>, where we bought the best vegan white chocolate ever. We spoke about food activism in France with Paris-based vegan lifestyle writer <a href="http://Paris-based%20vegan%20lifestyle%20writer" target="_blank">Aurelia d’Andrea</a>, and with Jenny Eric of <a href="http://www.mykitchn.fr/www.mykitchn.fr/Welcome.html" target="_blank">My Kitch’n Paris</a>, who also uses her restaurant space for meetings to support vegan entrepreneurs.<br> We go from Paris to NYC in our news segment to hear the latest from <a href="http://theirturn.net/" target="_blank">Donny Moss</a>. Then it’s on to the penguins! The always charming <a href="http://chickpeasandchange.wordpress.com/">Alessandra Seiter</a> tells us how to appreciate penguins beyond watching the movie Happy Feet!
